2006 House Bill 6318 ↩

Senate Roll Call 787: Passed

To allow a license applicant to be named and admitted as a party in any contested administrative hearing or judicial review of a case involving the application for a state license or license itself. "License" here means an agency permit, certificate, approval, registration, charter, or similar form of permission required to engage in a particular activity. Note: A recent circuit court decision - since overturned on appeal — prevented a company seeking a mining permit from participating in a court challenge to state approval of the permit.
